Devil 1,179 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Simple really, Friday night you've bought the ticket and your numbers come in!! You are the only winner of the jackpot and it's at a whopping 100 million pounds. What would you do? What luxuries would afford yourself? Would you share the money with your family?

Administrator Stan 18,403 Posted July 1, 2021 Administrator Share Posted July 1, 2021 Definitely share some with family. They've helped me a lot and I'd basically help them clear any debts/mortgage etc and set my parents up for their retirements. For myself, upgrade everything on the honeymoon we've got booked at the moment. Set myself and wife-to-be and any future children up for the rest of our lives. Try and invest loads, but wisely. Get a few houses/properties bought. I would say go on holidays all over the place but COVID puts a stop to that, so just go where I can for now safely. As much as it'd be tempting to, I wouldn't spend it all at once, not really in my nature to do so anyway. I'd spend a lot but make sure there's always enough to be safe and not worry about.

Not that, my fingers are too fat and fragile at my age and would more than likely do myself an injury. Get legless first and when I land back on planet earth make sure the family get a load of dosh and give a lot to charity, mainly cancer research, then I would buy a bungalow and build an extension with a powerful telescope and dedicate the rest of my life looking at the stars.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,330 Posted July 1, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted July 1, 2021 Would only buy stuff I need, and that isn't much. Also buy some property in Asia and Europe. Make some investments. The usual generic shite. However, considering that it's more money than I and people close to me would need in our lifetimes, and also because I would like to use the money for something worthwhile, I'd create a huge "scouting" network to identify the brightest, most gifted and talented kids around the globe, and support them and their families in order for them to get the highest quality education that's most suitable for them and their potential. So a huge scholarship scheme of sorts, if you wish. Then some 20 years later, I would summon my team of now super scientists, engineers, programmers, doctors, artists, inventors, etc. and take over the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil 1,179 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 I'd invest in property in various areas of the world and divide my time between them, I'd basically live my whole life as summer time. I'd obviously spend a few weeks of the year in my beloved City but I could easily see me moving from Miami to Dubai to Bali to a Greek island. I'd basically live my life like one big fun holiday, you'd never spend it so why not enjoy the time you have on the planet. In terms of family I think I'd commit a few million to sort them out by clearing any of their debts and what not. I'd also have a live in chef who would cook me amazing food that's healthy for me. These footballers have amazing lives with chefs cooking them curries and all manner of foods you'd consider unhealthy but they have it cooked to suit their dietary needs.

Moderator Tommy 12,628 Posted July 1, 2021 Moderator Share Posted July 1, 2021 Wouldn't tell anyone except close relatives. Buy a neat apartment with a nice roof terrace perhaps. Make sure my parents never have to worry about money again. And then I'd travel a lot. Maybe attend F1 races in different countries. Perhaps start or support an honest charity organization.

Eco 3,008 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Also, I'll add that I'd focus more time on my writing. Been doing a lot more since COVID and I thoroughly enjoy it. I wrote an erotica novel that would make your parents blush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil 1,179 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 I'd have to have the best home gym built, the works everything from a weights room, cardio machines, sauna, steam room, plunge pool and jacuzzi. Basically my own health spa built on site of my property. I'd start my day with breakfast by the pool and follow that up with a work out, sauna and steam and then I'd just relax before doing what I need to do that day.

He is a regular on NBA TV and does a lot of stuff like that. But he owns some Papa Johns and so I'm sure it's just his way of being funny. He is well known to being a silly goof so I'm sure it's just fun for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
